A request for an adjournment. And gave accepted it for a new court date. Meanwhile I was there and the hearing took place and the ruling was made. She completely changed her decision with no basis except for the other party saying I used to have a trade that paid well. I don't anymore The judge said file a reconsideration Its complicated for me I have mental heath issues. I think the other hearing was not legal? The second one? This has ruined my life for over 12 years
A: I gather you filed an application for modification and the other side failed to file timely opposition and then asked the court for a new date to be able to provide the court with new information. Unfortunately, this type of settling happens regularly, especially when the court has 2 pro se litigants. To File an application for reconsideration, it must be filed within 10 days of the date of the court order. If not filed within 10 days of the date of the court's order, the court will most likely deny your application, as having been filed out of time (too late). If the focus of the courts order was on your employment background, your reconsideration application needs to focus on why you are no longer able to maintain that type of work, what you have been doing for employment, etc, the income from same and details of your former partners employment setting and income / asset setting.
